Compiling error: Assertion failed: (), function find, file management.cpp, line 671.

The Matlab compiler is giving me an error when I attempt to compile anything, even the most basic scripts with no dependencies. The following is the output of PackagingLog.html:

mcc -o test_script -W main:test_script -T link:exe -d /Users/kerr24/Desktop/Test_Matlab_Scripts/test_script/for_testing -v /Users/kerr24/Desktop/Test_Matlab_Scripts/test_script.m 
Compiler version: 6.6 (R2018a)

Dependency analysis by REQUIREMENTS.

Assertion failed: (), function find, file management.cpp, line 671.
Assertion failed: (), function find, file management.cpp, line 671.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I am using Matlab 2018a on macOS 10.13.5

With the help of MathWorks technical support I'm able to answer my own question. It ended up being a directory in my Matlab path that somehow conflicted with compiling. To test this I reset my path using the following commands:

restoredefaultpath
rehash toolboxcache
savepath

Then I ran the most basic compiling command:

mcc -m test.m

Then I added directories back to my path and checked that mcc was still working.

I had this problem as well. I have a matlab script that uses a function in a separate matlab file, in the same directory. I added

userpath('reset') 

in the matlab script before defining the userpath that I wanted:

userpath('/directory/to/matlab_scripts_and_matlab_function_files/')
